L'honneur et la Foi

Le droit de résistance chez les réformés français (1536-1581)

This book examines the theological-political problem at the heart of the Reformation through a new lens. In France, the Wars of Religion (1560-1598) provided the stage for certain Calvinist subjects to redefine the political scheme in a way to create legitimate resistance to the King. This theoretical radicalization has often been attributed to those thinkers known as the "monarchomachs", Calvin's followers, who in the darkest hours of the Wars of Religion, are said to have elaborated a theory of just political resistance. Yet, from Calvin to the monarchomachs, Protestant reflection on power has evolved under the influence of the French reform movement's apologists. The political thought of the apologists who reflected upon the conditions of obedience to the King in fidelity to God is the focal point of this work.
